Easter

We had a fun easter weekend.  The boys participated in our annual neighborhood egg hunt.  And let me say our homeowners association really outdid themselves this year.  They moved away from filling the eggs with hard candy such as peppermints, butterscotch, and Werthers Originials (you know the stuff kids really LOVE,) to filling almost every egg with Tootsie Rolls - you know the really hard ones that were probably left over from Halloween.  So glad to know my money is being well spent!  The boys had a blast hunting for the eggs!

We spent Saturday evening coloring eggs:

And Easter Sunday was spent searching for baskets, enjoying the true meaning of Easter at mass and having a fun brunch with Kristi, Mike, Conor, and Lauren.  I had bought the boys each new pants and a "springy" shirt for Mass.  Well, Easter morning Jack comes up all dressed in his First Communion outfit from last year.  We asked him why he didn't want to wear the new clothes and he replied as serious as ever, "Hey.  It's a special occasion.  Jesus has risen from the dead.  I thought I should dress up!"
